Voice Command / Voice Dialer VIA Bluetooth ? - Motorola Photon 4G

Has anyone gotten this to work properly on anything besides a stock BLUR ROM?
I have tried on every ROM and the only thing that comes close is CM7.2 but you get a very low pitch TTS voice coming from the Bluetooth headset (sounds like it is possessed).
I have tried with PICO, SVOX. ESpeak and Google Text to Speech. PICO does not work under any of the CM9 ROMS.
Any insight would be greatly helpful.
Thank you,
RJR

Eva (intern) worked for cm9 before I went started building on MIUI. it's not just a dialer though...it's a siri like program...lots of extra functions.

Same issue. Still getting a low pitched voice in CM7.2 and none of the CM9 ROMS seem to support TTS over BT at the moment.

Music and GPS Navigation not working together properly

I'm trying to play music and run Google Maps Navigation simultaneously. On the Evo 4G, I could do this no problem. On this phone now everytime it is supposed to speak directions, it mutes music, but does not say the direction - it is either muted or extremely low volume. I should also mention I am using a custom voice - SVOX Classic.
Anyone else experience this or find a fix?
Thanks!

Did you turn the nab volume all the way up?
Edit: Just tried it and it works fine for me.

Yeah the navigation volume is on full. I even tried turning up the volume in the SVOX app.
Just curious are you using a custom voice or the built in?
SOunds like you answered your on question, its the svox and not the 3do. Uninstall and you should be fine.

Obviously I am trying to get the two to work together. I'm sure I'm not the only one who uses a custom voice.
Still looking for other people's experiences with SVOX Google Maps, and Music

Then you should change your title to svox and music don't work together because there are no problems with Google Navigation and music.

Just because you haven't had the problem or even many users haven't had the problem does not mean the issue doesn't exist. For example: on EVO 4G I used Google Navigation with SVOX without a single problem. I will try with the default PICO TTS to confirm whether or not it is specific to SVOX next time I have a chance.
I have a strong feeling it is related to the stock software. I have also noticed poor aac audio quality in Xiialive using the stock system codec but as soon as I switch to Xiialive internal engine, it works perfectly. This leads me to believe there is some kind of issue with the audio codecs in stock Rom.
Not a monster of a deal but would be cool to resolve.
I have just confirmed the problem is not exclusive to SVOX. I am experiencing the same result with the standard tts. I am also using it over Bluetooth. All of this worked perfect on OG Evo.
Anyone with actual ideas and not just complaints about my thread?
This is a known issue with gingerbread and the sat nav application. I'm on my phone now, but if you do a search you will find several bugs open with Google. Unfortunately I don't think there is a fix yet. even happens on under gb and cm7 phones including the updated 4g.
I'm having the same issue with with stock maps, PowerAmp and latest MikG through Bluetooth or 3.5mm Jack. Navigation works fine until player is started.
/edit
Whoops just noticed this ie the 3D forum... I'm running the 4G

Berardi, please see this thread I just started. It looks like it's a bug.
Anyway to make this more known? Maybe blast @google @androiddev @googlemobile with tweets or message them on facebook?
This is a pretty serious issue IMO. I can't believe more people don't complain bout this.

[Q] Has anyone developed a good way to make phone call?

I have google voice working well for sms and go contacts. I just wondering is anyone making calls with their nook tablet?

I tried with GrooveIP but no luck.
No luck with Csipsimple or Sipdroid. I figured one of these would be the first to get mic/headphone support.
I have tried Skype but when the person who im calling answersthe call it force closes, havent tried any other app.

the only thing the mic can be used for right now is the built in nook functions and voice search. i don't think we will be able to use the mic for anything else until we can get a custom rom on it
I do all the time, download groove ip from the market, it links to your google voice account

I agree with you, though i will give obion a try too, i already have an android smartphone for voip calls but it would be awesome if we could have it in the nook, in fact is one of the reasons i bought the NT and not the NC. It is definitely a must have feature, at list for me .

No, it's surely can be used in any app. Because it's working in Hi-Q MP3 Rec (Lite), for instance. BTW, the sound quality is very good.

I can confirm that as well, I downloaded "Voice Recorder" from the market to record notes, and it works. What gives? if some random app can get access to the microphone, why can't the VoIP apps do it?
I'm trying to figure out how to make a call somehow as well.
Has there been anything new on this front yet - just bought and rooted a NT and would love to make calls with it
I used skype on mine and it worked well.
The closest I have gotten is with Skype or grooveip.
Skype FCs when the party being called answers. Each version I've tried has acted a little differently so I am still hopeful that an update will work some day. With the proliferation of tablets I know they are working on it though not necessarily for the NT.
Everything about grooveip seems to work but the microphone doesn't seem to be recognized and the speaker does not work. The speaker plays the ringing sound while trying to connect (and the volume is adjustable) but upon answer it does not play and the volume function is Xed out just as it would be when you are muted at the lowest setting. Volume buttons do not respond. Other than that there is definitely a telephony link between the NT and the phone being called. This is version 1.1.8 I'm trying.

Would you mind sharing? I am quite interested in getting Skype to work. No success as yet.
Here's a basic (possibly stupid) question. Is the NT headset jack a mic/earphone jack or just a headset jack? I couldn't tell from any of the teardowns.
im not sure but it could be a lib/s missing or existing one that need to be modified, ill try to look into it ask some devs i know and report back
I downloaded textplus and it is SO ClOSE to working! I can use it to sms and I can receive calls and make calls. The person on the other end can hear me BUT I cent hear them!
Also there is twin thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363215&page=10
and one interesting comment
I also have success with iPhone mic + talk-a-play. I note /etc/astound.conf shows both mic channels ON. Could this be part of the problem? Linux Alsa doesn't work with Skype unless you turn one channel off because the 2 channels cancel each other out. Someone who really knows Alsa needs to have a good look at this file. I don't really understand it, but it definitely gives a description for a mic.

I'm playing with asound.conf now, and it seems to be the right place to look. I managed to break HI-Q recorder from working, make 'fring test call' be heard (not me), and even make device stuck from full boot (removing asound.conf from adb shell saved me) =)

[Q] Voicemail volume in Sprint vvm and Youmail

So any AOSP rom I've tried, I always have a problem with volume with voicemail. I've used both sprint visual voicemail and youmail, but with the same result. When playing back voicemails, either through the speaker or earpiece, the volume is all the way the up. Lowering the volume won't change it, it just stays at full blast. It's only been with voicemails, everything else volume related works great. It's done this on CM10, PAC, SlimBean, AOKP, anything other than sense based roms. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Are you using the sprint voice mail app?

Hiya,
I am having this problem too. Volume is so loud and cannot lower it or change between speaker and earpiece ? I am giving DIrty Unicorns a try. I was wondering if you found a fix for this?
Thanks,
Tango

I'm back on MeanBean now, so hasn't been an issue. I tried Decks latest a week ago or so and I don't think it had this issue.

AOSP sound issues

Hello,
So it seems that when I install any of the AOSP roms "unofficial cm, infection, tron" the speaker audio does not work. For anything. Notifications, videos, speaker phone, anything. Obviously Im the only person who has this problem but does anybody have any idea how to fix this annoyance. Audio works fine on Sense based roms weirdly enough.
Thanks

You know, ive had this issue on one of my roms, its a bug that is bugging me lol. But my MIUI rom, it doesnt register until you bring the volume to max and then adjust it from there. You only need to do this the first time..if you go into the sound setting and max out all sound and then adjust them to where you want. Not sure if it will work for you, but thats the work around in my rom

Bump. Still no solution. Tried a bunch of different roms and even what was suggested. But nothing seems to get the sound to work on AOSP roms. I really hate sense and want to get rid of it. Im going to try and reinstall the ruu and start clean. Maybe that will fix something.
When you attempt to play something the speaker sounds like its trying to play. sometimes popping or even really soft static sound. Again this is only when on AOSP roms.
Weirdly enough. Rage 1.9.6 (4.0.4 cm based) works with sound but not the newer roms. Any Ideas?

Skype does not work with internal MIC

As the heading tells:
The microphone of the Tablet does not work in skype
A test with voice recorder and some other apps etc shows that the mic itself works perfectly - but not in Skype. You hear only some "brrrrrrrrrr" noice in skype test call (echo test)
Any hints, tips and experiences about this?
TIA
Uwe
Correctig:
Also microphone im IMO and Viber do not work. Onyl distorted sounds at an low level.
In "Agent Mail.RU" all is working flawlessly without any problem.....

Try updating firmware. I'm using it in skype quite frequently and there are no problems.
I installed the last available Nightly CM12.1 - no way
Also PAC-ROM does not work with Skype.
I also made a factory reset and installed all from beginning --> NO WAY
Or do You mean of another firmware?
I can confirm that I have the same issue with latest cm 12.1 (and with previous versions for quite some time).
If anyone knows how to fix that, it would be awesome since I searched for resolutions but could not find one :crying:
Thanks

On CM try editing mic settings (gain, etc...) with kernel auditor.
